This episode reveals the hidden struggle of "functional" alcoholism. 
 

Peeling back the layers of the functional alcoholic or functional addict mask reveals a complex and often alarming inner world. While everything may seem fine on the surface, underneath lies a torrent of troubling thoughts and emotions. In this episode, we embark on a journey deep into the mind of a functional alcoholic or functional addict.

We delve into the intricacies of their thought processes, shedding light on the constant struggle and preoccupation with addictive behaviors. As we navigate through their minds, we uncover the persistent anxiety they experience in social situations, always on guard about others' drinking or drug use. These individuals are perpetually seeking opportunities to engage in addictive behaviors, often at the expense of their well-being.

By exploring the internal landscape of functional alcoholics and addicts, we aim to increase understanding and empathy for their plight. This episode challenges the common misconception that everything is perfectly fine for these individuals, highlighting the hidden battles they face behind closed doors.

Join us as we venture beyond the facade and gain insight into the unsettling thoughts and emotions that underlie the functional alcoholic or functional addict's outward appearance. Through this exploration, we hope to foster greater compassion and awareness, encouraging dialogue and support for those struggling with addiction.
